  • Brought up from minors
    Bourque was called up from AHL Texas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Bourque's promotion comes as AHL Texas was eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs. The 22-year-old center racked up 26 goals and 51 helpers in 71 minor-league, regular-season contests before adding another 11 points in seven postseason games. Even if Bourque doesn't see much time in the Stanley Cup playoffs, he should be in the mix for a roster spot heading into the 2024-25 campaign given his offensive upside.

  • Slated to be available for Thursday
    Chytil (illness) is slated to be an option for Thursday's Game 6 against Carolina, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today on Wednesday.

    Advice: Chytil returned from a head injury last Thursday, but after recording a shot in 12:02 of ice time in that contest, the 24-year-old missed the past two outings due to the illness. He's also been dealing with some soreness unrelated to his previous head injury. Chytil might serve in a bottom-six role versus the Hurricanes, but it's also possible he'll be a healthy scratch.

  • Won't play Wednesday
    Hintz (upper body) will miss Wednesday's Game 5 versus Colorado, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

    Advice: Hintz has two goals and six points in nine playoff contests this year. Dallas would advance to the Western Conference Finals with one more victory, giving Hintz more time to rest before the Stars' schedule resumes. However, even if Colorado forces a Game 6 on Friday, the 27-year-old might still be an option given his current day-to-day status. In the meantime, Radek Faksa is projected to draw into the lineup against the Avalanche due to Hintz's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
     
  • Registers helper in loss
    Lindholm provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: Lindholm set up Conor Garland on the Canucks' first goal during their third-period comeback effort. The helper gives Lindholm five points over four contests in the second round. He's up to five goals, three assists, 19 shots on net, 27 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 10 outings this postseason. While he's listed on the third line, he gets enough all-situations minutes to be a de facto top-six forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:46 pm
     
  • Nets late equalizer
    Joshua netted a goal, added nine hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: Joshua scored late in the third period, but it wasn't late enough to prevent the Oilers from answering to get the win. The 27-year-old Joshua has eight points over 10 playoff outings, but six of them have come in a pair of three-point efforts, making him inconsistent with his contributions on offense. The winger has added seven shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-4 rating while playing on the third line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 pm
     
  • Nabs power-play helper
    McDavid posted a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: McDavid's playoff-opening point streak ended at seven games after he was held off the scoresheet in Sunday's Game 3 loss. The center got back at it Tuesday, setting up Leon Draisaitl on the Oilers' opening tally. McDavid has two goals, 16 helpers, 27 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-4 rating through nine playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:22 pm
     
  • Scores in Game 4 win
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins put the Oilers ahead 2-0 with a goal in the final minute of the second period. The marker was his first since the playoff opener, though he has racked up seven points during a five-game streak. The 31-year-old has two goals, nine helpers, 13 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-1 rating over nine postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:19 pm
     
  • Another two-point effort
    Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and logged four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Draisaitl earned his eighth multi-point effort in nine playoff contests. He finished off a Connor McDavid pass for the opening tally in the first period and set up Evan Bouchard's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third. Draisaitl is up to eight goals, 20 points, 39 shots on net and a plus-2 rating this postseason, ranking first in the league in points and third in goals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 pm
     
  • Nets lone goal in Game 5 loss
    Reinhart scored a goal on eight shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 5.

    Advice: Reinhart has been dialed in with two goals and four assists over five games in the second round. The 28-year-old is up to five goals, nine points, 46 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff contests. Reinhart has earned just two of his postseason points with the man advantage after collecting 34 of his 94 regular-season points on the power play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:37 pm
